Make error when compiling GMP on Windows - windows

I'm attempting to compile GMP 5.1.3 with MinGW on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine as a prerequisite to setting up pycrypto. To configure GMP I used ./configure --prefix=C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/gmp-5.1.3. When I enter the make command, I get the error:
../libtool: line 1109: lib: command not found
make[2]: *** [libmpn.la] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving director '/c/Python27/Lib/site-packages/gmp-5.1.3/mpn'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/c/Python27/Lib/site-packages/gmp-5.1.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I've been fishing around Google and reviewing the instructions for GMP to no avail. Found lots of maybe similar problems, but nothing that directly relates. Though I have the sneaking suspicion that the problem is right in front of me and I've just been staring at the screen too long.

Cygwin,lib: command not found while building Unix based library

I am trying to install the tblis library on my Cygwin installation and I am encountering in the following error:
$ make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/indiano/Test/tblis'
Making all in src/external/tci
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/indiano/Test/tblis/src/external/tci'

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/indiano/Test/tblis'
make: *** [Makefile:1203: all] Error 2
I donĀ“t have a lot of experience with building big projects and even less in cross-compiling, can somebody land an hand or at least point me in some direction?
My suspect is that something is missing in the base installation of Cygwin, but I can not identify which package should be.
Also seams that there is nothing to be found on the internet.

VLC 3.0.12/3.0.14 once command source build fails on macOS

Running mac osx 10.14.6 and have previously successfully built 3.0.10 and 3.0.11. Trying to build VLC 3.0.12 & 3.0.14 from source downloaded from here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html
and using recommended build from here: https://wiki.videolan.org/MacOSCompile/ AND using the recommended:
../extras/package/macosx/build.sh -c
Build runs for about 20 minutes and then stops here (snip of output):
CCLD libprefetch_plugin.la
CCLD libhds_plugin.la
CCLD librecord_plugin.la
ld: library not found for -lzstd
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[4]: *** [libarchive_plugin.la] Error 1

make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

mysystem:build xx$
What am I missing or doing wrong?
Note: in previous builds I could find a cmake/Utilities/cmzstd/lib directory in vlc-3.0.x/extras/tools that had various zstd files however it is not there in either 3.0.12 or 3.0.14 - only a cmake-enable-ALPN-support-on-macOS-109.14.patch file.
Where do I find zstd? Thanks.
Seems the issue is related to how macOS and packagers (homebrew, etc.) load components. macOS provides a compiled version of libarchive but no headers, so you are unable in trying to compile. You will either need to pass the location of your libarchive respository with headers via your build script or set an environment variable telling the compiler or linker where to look for them. Perhaps someone more familiar with your VLC package can weigh in.

how to install gdb 9.1 on debian from source code

I like to compile and use gdb 9.1. the source is here https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/
Plus when I type make in config directory make says make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. because there is not make file. on root folder there are Makefile.in and Makefile.tpl and Makefile.def. what are these files. and how can I install gdb 9 from source code.
Update
After the comment changes I made in command by G.M I am getting this error I think almost at the end of compiling process

WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
You might want to install the Texinfo package:

The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
want to install GNU make:

Debian "make" error

I'm trying to install ufasoft miner on my Debian machine, but after entering make it shows this message:
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/ufasoft_coin-0.75'
CXX el/libext/bignum.o
In file included from el/libext/bignum.cpp:18:0:

make[1]: *** [el/libext/bignum.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/ufasoft_coin-0.75'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Check your installed GMP version.
For me, ufasoft_coin-0.75 compiles fine against the latest gmp-5.1.3 (With --enable-cxx)

Cross compiling from MinGW on Fedora 18 to Windows (64 bits) for Ocaml/TclTk program

everything is in the tittle.
I've made some research on the subject and found this : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Windows_cross_compiler.
I've followed the steps one by one, reaching the "How to set" part but when I try to compile (as the Mingw README said make MINGW_HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32) I obtain this :
...
File "topfind.ml", line 171, characters 4-27:
Error: Unbound module Toploop
make[2]: *** [topfind.cmo] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/local/aturbin/mingw32-ocaml/build/findlib/src/findlib'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/aturbin/mingw32-ocaml/build/findlib'
make: *** [stamp-build-findlib] Error 2
Any ideas about what's going wrong ?
Proper cross-compilation for OCaml currently requires a set of patches which you can find at http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5737 ; the patches are being integrated in the trunk version of ocaml right now, so I guess that bug report should contain the latest information.
